MAKING CONNECTIONS: Only self-locking snap hooks and/or carabiners shall be used with this equipment.

Ensure all connectors are fully closed, locked, and compatible.

Capital Safety connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each

product’s user instructions. See Figure 3 for inappropriate connections. Capital Safety snap hooks and

carabiners should not be connected:

A. To a D-ring which another connector is already attached.

B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate.

C. In a false engagement

where features that

protrude from the

snap hook or carabiner

catch on the D-ring,

and without visual

confirmation seems to

be fully engaged to the

anchor point.

D. to each other.

E. Directly to webbing

or rope lanyard for

tie-back (unless

specifically provided by

the manufacturer).

F. to any object which is

shaped or dimensioned

such that the snap

hook or carabiner will

not close and lock, or where roll-out could occur.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS

• Do not make connections where the hook locking mechanism can come into contact with a structural member

or other equipment and potentially release the hook.

• Do not connect a snap hook into a loop or thimble of a wire rope or attach in any way to a slack wire rope.

• The snap hook must be free to align with the applied load as intended (regardless of the size or shape of the

mating connector).

• A carabiner may be used to connect to a single or pair of soft loops on a body support such as a body belt or

full body harness, provided the carabiner can fully close and lock. This type of connection is not allowed for

snap hooks.

• A carabiner may be connected to a loop or ring connector that is already occupied by a choker style

connector. This type of connection is not allowed for snap hooks.

STRUCTURE LOAD: The structure supporting this system must be rigid and capable of supporting a minimum

moment load of 90,000 in*lb. (10,169 N*m) without deformation.

ASSEMBLY AND USE

NOTE: Large thraot snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which

will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with

ANSI Z359.1-2007 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that

it is appropriate for your application.

WARNING: Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult with Capital Safety if using this

equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this manual. Some

subsystems and components combinations may interfere with the proper operation of this equipment. Use

caution when using this equipment around moving machinery, electrical and chemical hazards, and sharp

edges.

BEFORE EACH USE: inspect this equipment according to steps listed in Section 5. Do not use this equipment if

inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition. Plan your use of the fall protection system prior to exposing

workers to dangerous situations. Consider all factors affecting your safety before using this system.

A. Read and understand all manufacturer’s instructions for each component of the personal fall arrest system.

All Capital Safety harnesses and connecting subsystems are supplied with separate user instructions. Keep

all instructions for future reference.

B. Review Sections 1.0 and 2.0 to ensure system limitations and other requirements have been adhered to.

Review applicable information regarding system clearance criteria, and ensure changes have not been made

to the system installation, or occurred at the job site, that could affect the required fall cleance. Do not use

the system if changes are required.

PLAN: your fall arrest or rescue system before starting your work. Take into consideration factors affecting

your safety at any time during use. The following list gives some important points you must consider when

planning your system.

A. ANCHORAGE: Make sure the anchorage or work surface is rigid and capable of supporting the required

loads. See section 2.4. Locate the system in accordance with Section 3.4.

B. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where the connecting fall arrest or rescue subsystem (i.e. SRL, lanyard,

lifeline, etc.) or other system componenets will be in contact with, or abrade against unprotected sharp

edges. If working with this equipment near sharp edges is unavoidable, protection against cutting must be

provided by using a heavy pad or other meanse over the exposed sharp edge.

C. RESCUE: Should a fall occur, the user (employer) must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to

implement it.

D. AFTER A FALL: Any equipment which has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall must be removed

from service immediatley and destroyed or cantact a factory authorized service center for repair.

E. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• This system is inteded to be used by only one person.

• Personal fall arrest systems must be rigged to limit any free fall to a maximum of 6 ft. (1.8 m) (OSHA and

ANSI Z359.1).

• Do not allow a lifeline to pass under arms or between legs.

• See Section 3.3 for sizes and configurations.

WARNING: Working at height has inherent risks. Some risks are noted here but are not limited to the

following: falling, suspension/prolonged suspension, striking objects, and unconsciousness. In the event of a

fall arrest and/or subsequent rescue (emergency) situation, some personal medical conditions may affect

your safety. Medical conditions identified as risky for this type of activity include but are not limited to the

following: heart disease, high blood pressure, vertigo, epilepsy, drug or alcohol dependence, psychiatric

illness, impaired limb function and balance issues. We recommend that your employer/physician determine if

you are fit to handle normal and emergency use of this equipment.

WARNING: Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for associated equipment (i.e. SRL, full body

harness, lanyard, lifeline, etc.) used in your personal fall arrest system.
